Morph the Cat deheaded

Any one else notice that the vinyl copy of this album is seriously flawed. The low end is too bloated and the highs are missing in action. It sounds like Steve Hoffman mixed this using only headphones. It is a shame since this is a great album and would be even more fun if the mix was correct.

The DVDA and CD both sound much better, which is usually not the case.

Tvad, I'd revisit the system quality theory. :-) I have the Morph LP's and the DVD-A. The LP version is one of the best sounding recordings on vinyl EVER, if the music itself leaves something to one's desire. IMHO, it embarasses the DVD-A in comparison. I have had some issues with other Hoffman masters - but this ain't one of them by a LONG measure.

Even on vinyl "Morph the Cat" is not a pure analog recording. The sessions were recorded via 2" analog tape and then transferred to digital (ProTools) for editing and mixing. I only have the CD version and like "Everything Must Go" the bass is hyped, but not unpleasantly so. I've not noticed any lack of high frequency info on either although neither is a particularly open or airy recording.

Tvad, I was not insinuating in any way that you had an agenda.
